Thank you.

How often can you bump an ad in the classifieds?

I'm getting ready to start reloading 357mag for a carbine rifle. I've got some Magnus 158gr JSP's (J-119) and I'll be using H110. Hodgdon's data shows that with a Hornady 158gr XTP the starting load is 15gr and max is 16.7 at COL of 1.580. I think I'll follow this being that it's the closest data to the Magnus bullet I can find. Does anyone load Magnus bullets? All advice welcome. Thanks. Her's a pic of the XTP and the Magnus J-119.

Thanks. I just sold my rifle this morning locally but still plan on going to the show to see if I can find a good price on a Henry.

Are you allowed to conceal carry at the RK shows?

Other than selling, what about the variety and prices of the guns there? I'll be looking for a new gun too.

So how is this show? Is there a large amount of vendors there? The last show I went to was at the Nashville fairgrounds and it was kind of a disappointment. I have a gun to sell and was wondering if it would be worth the drive from Clarksville. Thanks.

Your pic isn't showing but I was there and I'm sure I know what it is. [emoji6] Sent from Mandalore Outpost 3

It was a good show. The new Springfield was a letdown in my opinion. Like mentioned above it was great to be able to handle a bunch of guns that are not normally accessable. Sent from Mandalore Outpost 3

Last year mine came 3 weeks before the event, that's why I'm concerned about not having mine yet. Sent from Mandalore Outpost 3

I pre-registered in February and still haven't received my passes. Getting a little worried! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Years ago there was an old rock quarry that I could go to and just shoot a bunch, but now its privately owned and off limits. Does anyone know of a place I can go with my son to shoot some outside that isn't an official range, so we can rapid fire and stuff in the Clarksville area? Can't do much at the range other than your normal sighting-in stuff. Thanks.

I haven't been to a Nashville gun show in years and I am needing to sell a rifle. I sold a lot of guns just walking around in there but with all the talk lately I didn't know if you can still do that. Anyone know if that's still ok?

Do you know if he can get Hornady dies? Having trouble finding #546555 taper crimp 45acp.

Who's David?

I will be headed to Pigeon Forge and was wanting to stop in at some shops that have reloading supplies. Are there any places not to far off of I-40 from Nashville to Pigeon Forge? Thanks in advance.

Ok, it seems that some of you read into my post a little too much and involved what you thought I should teach my son. My son is 23 months old and I didn't want to take the time to see a manager. I only have a short selective time period for him to be in that buggy so I can shop with my sanity intact. I still had to go grocery shopping!

So my son and I was at Academy Sports in Clarksville last week looking at scopes. they keep all the 22lr ammo at the service desk and by habit I just look over there when I walk in. They didn't have much , just some of that match grade expensive little boxes. Then we were beside the gun counter by the scopes and a customer came up to two young employees at the gun counter and you could tell that they knew each other. One very quietly said "just a second" and reached through the door behind him and pulled out two 225rd bricks of 22lr. He whispered something to the customer and off he went. I just kinda thought this was wrong in a way, appeared that he saved those for him. I have heard of this type of stuff at a few Academys and this my my first time witnessing it. I didn't feel like saying anything and making a stink about it because I had my son with me. Oh well, just thought I would share.

I was thinking of going to the show in Franklin on Nov 22-23, but after hearing the complaints on here I am rethinking the trip. So what is so bad about it? I have never been. The last show I went to was in Murfreesboro and I really liked it there. I boycott the Nashville show because of having to pay for parking+admission. Thanks.

My Academy has the 20rd box for $26. I would like to get the 50rd since they are the same price.

I have heard from a few online sources that the Federal HST is available in a 50rd box for around $30. I've only seen a 20rd box for $25 around here. Anyone know if you can still get the 50rd box?

  I missed it before it was taken down. What was the prices they had?

You ready for the kicker in this story.....my co-worker is an ex-police officer!!! That's funny stuff, guess that's why he's an "ex". On another note guys, let's don't get to bashing each other about which caliber is better than the other. I myself don't dislike .40 or.45 or what ever else, it's just I shoot SO much better with a 9mm. I've had pretty much all the handgun calibers available at some time and settled with the 9mm simply because I shoot better with it. The problem wasn't the gun or the rounds, it was me, as my brother shot them with no problem at all! I will say though, I had a Glock 38 once and that was the best shooting gun I have ever had! I sold it because it was just too hard to find .45GAP rounds.

So the other day I had a co-worker of mine walk by and see me looking at some 9mm ammo online. Then he stated that I should get a .40 because that's the best. He started rambling about this and that..blah... blah. Then he said that it's the best because the local Police use it. He said, " The PD uses .40 because it can shoot through an engine block and stop a car and a 9mm can't do that." And I had to just keep my mouth shut on at that point. Any further conversation would be useless! I don't dislike .40, just thought the whole engine block thing was hilarious!
